True Detective’s Cary Joji Fukunaga to Direct the New James Bond

Sorry, everyone campaigning for Idris Elba—or Henry Golding—to be the new James Bond. "Michael G. Wilson, Barbara Broccoli and Daniel Craig announced today that Bond 25 will begin filming at Pinewood Studios on 4 March 2019 under the helm of director, Cary Joji Fukunaga with a worldwide release date of 14 February 2020," announced the official James Bond Twitter account. Oh, will he be brooding and dark this time?

Fukunaga is probably best known for directing the first season of True Detective, and most recently directed the dark comedy Maniac for Netflix. He replaces Danny Boyle, who left the production over "creative differences."

While it may be a bummer to those who wanted James Bond to not be white for once, being James Bond doesn't seem that fun, so we might as well make white men miserable. When asked by Time Out in 2015 whether he'd want to do another Bond film after Spectre was released, Craig said, "I’d rather break this glass and slash my wrists. No, not at the moment. Not at all," and specified: "If I did another Bond movie, it would only be for the money." So, uhh, I guess we know why he's here.
